While Roger Williams and other founders of Rhode Island believed in complete freedom of worship and separation of church and state, they did not apply their ideas to the political arena. In Providence, only heads of families could vote and bachelors did not have the right of suffrage. As the colony grew, the colonial legislature restricted voting rights to owners of land. The original charter obtained by Williams did give the people the power to govern themselves, but it was an incorporation charter only and did not grant any land to any persons. Also, the legislature prohibited Roman Catholics from voting.
